The Spanish national who was allegedly gangraped in Jharkhand’s Dumka on Friday night is “emotionally shattered” but physically in stable condition, said Anil Kumar Mishra, Dumka’s Principal District Judge (PDJ) and Chairman of the District Legal Services Authority.

Mishra made the observations in a report to the Jharkhand Legal Services Authority (JHALSA) after meeting the woman. The visit came after JHALSA executive chairman Justice Sujit Narayan Prasad took cognizance of the incident.

According to a JHALSA official, the PDJ and his team ensured that the woman had security, assisted in recording her statement under section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and directed that compensation of Rs 10 lakh be paid to her.

Writing to JHALSA, PDJ Mishra said, “(We) assured them that the wrongdoers will be apprehended as soon as possible and prosecuted. The victim was emotionally shattered but was in stable physical condition, and medical examination was in process.”
